For Nathan's 30th I bought him a one hour flying lesson. Even though his birthday was a while ago he finally took his lesson this weekend just gone. He loved flying and enquired how much it would cost to get his pilots licence - £7,000 for a private licence. It would take many more birthdays before he would clock up the necessary 40hrs!
It was neat that Nath's Mum and Niece were able to come to the airfield and watch Nath fly. The lesson took place at RAF Henlow, a working airfield, so we had to show photo ID and get temporary visitor passes printed before we were allowed on the base. We drove past tanks and army trucks (and a golf course) before reaching the airfield. Very cool, was hoping war would break out and we could ride in a tank!
